* [[Psalm 55:2|2]] Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

* [[Psalm 55:3|3]] Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

* [[Psalm 55:11|11]] Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

* [[Psalm 55:12|12]] For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
